31. Salishan Park, Blaine, Washington

Lately, I have been doing a solo gas run down to Blaine on Mondays – the price of gas these days is ridiculous and it’s worth the drive to fill up in the US. Things got a little off schedule this week and I ended up going on Tuesday – which meant that Charlotte was along for the ride, which meant that we would check out our first international playground! We parked near the geocache, “Salishan Park Revisited”, but it didn’t reveal itself immediately and I really didn’t get to search, Charlotte was in such a hurry to get to the playground! We had a good time here – there was a brother and sister duo, Gwen and Jack, who were very chatty. Jack asked Charlotte if she wanted to play with them and she just beamed as she said “yes!” Jack was about five and Gwen was about twelve, so the playing was a bit lopsided, but that didn’t seem to matter. The playground had something new for us – a step to climb up on that wobbled – hang on tight, so you don’t fall off! Charlotte needed help on and off, but she liked it. There were picnic tables nearby for the mums and dads to hang out while the kids played and it was in a quiet, residential neighbourhood without too much traffic whizzing by. The park is located at N 48.59.265 W 122.44.726:  https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=z7IAXiVD2wGY.ke14vi-3MYtI&pli=1
